Updated Travel Restrictions and Requirements

The Hotel Castillo is open and welcoming tourists worldwide. Testing for COVID-19 is NOT required for travel to Costa Rica. Our sister property the Hotel Amistad will reopen on October 1, 2021, and is currently accepting reservations.

Travel Requirements

In order to travel, tourists must purchase a round trip flight, and meet the following requirements.

• Complete a digital Health Pass on the website of Ministry of Health, prior to travel.
• Unvaccinated travelers must purchase a travel insurance policy that covers accommodation in case of quarantine and medical expenses due to COVID-19 with Sagicor or INS.

As of August 1st, travelers with proof of vaccination are NOT required to purchase travel insurance. For U.S. travelers, the Covid-19 vaccination record card with the CDC logo is acceptable proof.

COVID-19 Testing for Return Flights

As of January 26th, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control is requiring a covid-19 test before returning. At Hotel Castillo we will arrange for the authorized test to be done on site and provide results within 24 hours. The cost is $95 and you should let reception know two days prior to your departure so we can set up a time at the hotel. For our all-inclusive guests who stay four nights or more, we will cover 50% of the cost of this test.

Safety Restrictions

Effective for the month of January, the bar and restaurant is limited to 25 percent capacity and reduced hours.
